If you want to give each guest one individually wrapped waffle, choose a variety that is genuinely packaged one per wrapper: a duo pack contains two waffles in each wrapper. Mini stroopwafels and standard packs are better suited to sharing from a plate. If anyone has dietary requirements or allergies, check the label on the exact variety before serving.
If you’d rather not pass round an opened pack, check the difference between individually wrapped waffles and packs of two. Van Oordt The Portion Company lists both pack formats for Daelmans; Jumbo shows Kanjers in portions of two.
Mini stroopwafels let guests help themselves to a small portion. A standard pack may suit you better if you’d prefer to serve whole waffles; compare the number of pieces when choosing.
Ask which ingredients are relevant to your guests, and read the label on the variety you’ve bought. A ‘gluten-free’ label doesn’t automatically rule out other allergens.
First decide whether you want to serve sealed portions or a plate to share. Then choose the size and, if anyone has dietary requirements, check the label on the exact variety.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Sealed portions | Count both waffles and wrappers: one waffle per wrapper is different from two waffles per wrapper. | I want to give each guest one sealed waffle without putting an open pack on the table; around 46% of consumers prioritise a pre-portioned serving. |
| Sharing | Compare the number of pieces and choose between mini waffles and whole waffles. | If everyone can help themselves from the plate, I want to make sure there are enough waffles to go round; around 36% of consumers prioritise sharing. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the label on the variety you’ve bought, including any warnings about traces. | If a guest needs to watch out for allergens, I want to know what’s in this exact variety; around 18% of consumers consider this the most important check. |
The Daelmans Duo Pack at PLUS and Kanjers 4 × 2 pieces at Jumbo contain two waffles in each sealed portion. This affects how many portions you can hand out.
Before buying, count both the sealed packs and the waffles. Choose a pack with one waffle per wrapper if each guest needs exactly one sealed waffle.
Mini stroopwafels are ideal for serving on a plate, but a multi-portion pack doesn’t give each guest their own sealed portion.
Choose minis when helping yourself suits your coffee break; use suitable serving tongs if you want to avoid everyone touching the waffles.
A gluten-free stroopwafel isn’t automatically free from milk, soya, egg or nuts. Ingredients and warnings can also vary between standard varieties.
Ask which allergens are relevant and check the full label on the exact pack before serving.
